The Baker Chocolate Company was an American company that produced chocolate, headquartered in Dorchester neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. It was the first company to produce chocolate in the country. Following the deaths of its founders and officers, the company was sold to the Forbes Syndicate in 1896, which carried on the business until it was sold to Postum Cereal in 1927, which became General Foods two years later.

Acquired by Kraft Foods in 1995, the Baker's Chocolate brand currently belongs to Kraft Heinz.
